Just installed. Opening websites also fast as compared to my VyprVPN (on Wireguard) when using double-hop VPNs

Router VPN => Laptop VPN => Internet

It's now in beta and open to public for testing. Can get it here

When I select Adguard DoT DNS in my Adguard for desktop I cannot open all the sites.....same as when tested with VyprVPN for these two days. Already feedback this issue to them.

Currently, some limitations

1) Limited servers worldwide. Hope to see 1000+ servers
2) Servers are rented from server farm i.e. not dedicated RAM bare metal servers
3) No double-hop feature
4) No way to minimize the GUI as shown above
5) No Kill-Switch
6) Not working with the DNS DoT from Adguard for desktop
7) Still has intermittent dropouts
8) No support in router, Linux OS etc

I've been running it for a while for reasons unclear UK speeds have dropped a lot this last week or so, contacted support - Well worth a try, I was getting identical speeds without running a VPN, unusual.
EDIT: My mistake I've been using the browser AdGuard VPN - Sorry

Hi from Turkey :) OpenVPN is blocked at the country level and doesn't work with almost all VPN providers, but Wireguard or PPTP should work well. AdGuard doesn't have these protocols? If they are, then just switch.

Adguard VPN uses its own proprietary prototol. You can see from my last picture attached in the opening post

Beta testing is probably not a good idea for those looking for privacy... But it's ok if that is not the case.

Currently, i'm fine with VPN unlimited, so i won't test... But i'm curious how adguard will implement this service.

I would not recommend buying software/services until the final product has been released to the general public.

Either the protocol is not enough of its own and is not masked enough, or the problem is that the domain for login is not available. In Turkey, almost all VPN domains are blocked, but for example Windscribe is able to recognize such a situation and use spare points for login. I don't want to clog my computer with an extra VPN client, so I'm just guessing. :)

What's your ISP, Superonline? If yes, change it. No censorship in here, I mean VPNs (depends your ISP), porn (depends your ISP), torrenting (only personal use), etc. everything is allowed. But you need to find right ISP. Generally small companies (ISPs) are good about this.
